I’m Going to Destroy this Country

“Kim Shuri. Eat this.”

Isaac held out the medicine with a bright smile.

Looking at the liquid in the small bottle, Shuri made a rotten expression.

“…Is it poison?”

“No way.”

Isaac smiled sparkly and firmly handed the bottle to Shuri.

“Eat this and cheer up.”

Then Shuri’s expression froze even more.

“…Did I do something wrong to you?”

“No? I’m proud of you? You even made a contract with the God of Light.”

Yes, in a sense, you’re making me the family head.

Why?

Imagine if this guy hadn’t made a contract with the God of Light. To gain the acknowledgment of the Blue gods, I would have had to eat grass that’s not in my fate, pray, and try to summon the gods with flattery.

How lovely would Shuri look then?

But to the brightly smiling Isaac, Shuri could only feel scared and uncomfortable.

In one year, he’s growing tall, and he has the best-looking face even among Eshua men, so his smiling face is angelic, but…

What is it?

Why is this bastard’s smile even scarier?

In the end, Shuri could only glare like this.

“If I didn’t do anything wrong, could it be you?! Did you do something wrong? Or are you planning to do something wrong from now on?!”

Instead of answering, Isaac smiled brightly.

Yeah, sure. If you want, I’ll do it for you.

And he picked up the rattle.

Bam!!!

The rattle brushed past Shuri’s face and stuck into the door of the prayer room with a thud. The sound of someone who was eavesdropping outside running away in a hurry was heard.

Shuri also smiled in agreement, pale as a sheet.

“Haha… Y-Yes. I guess you have no ulterior motive.”

Damn it, why is that temper getting more violent day by day!

But Whisper let out a hollow laugh and looked outside the door.

[It seems like a Blue priest, who was it?]

‘If not Grandpa, it would be Noel’s side.’

But if it’s someone from Grandpa’s side, they wouldn’t have tailed him all the way to the prayer room, so there’s a high probability it’s Noel’s side.

‘It would be troublesome for them if I really use the vision, so they came to check.’

Even if Isaac had come to the prayer room alone, it would be different. But he even brought Shuri?

‘They’ll think we’re having a vision meeting.’

From Noel’s point of view, he had no choice but to be wary of Isaac’s side growing. He’s wary of Isaac recruiting family members one by one.

[Still, I didn’t know the God of Criminal Justice would really send the items.]

A god personally sent a divine beast to give elixirs.

[Considering it only took a day, wasn’t it super fast?]

‘No. It took a whole day. So I’m going to corrupt the divine beast that brought the items.’

I’ll fatten up the subordinate bastard and send him back.

Well, the God of Criminal Justice wasn’t a bad guy after all. That’s why he thought of making a contract with him from the beginning.

‘And above all, it’s not bad for him to join hands with me.’

[Not bad…?!]

At the words that sounded like asking if he was serious, Isaac chuckled.

‘In my opinion, it’s not a coincidence that the God of Light is trapped. There’s definitely someone behind it.’

[Behind it?]

‘I think there’s a high probability it’s the Gold gods.’

The Gold gods are the main force that has seized power in the divine realm. The subordinates are fine, but the leader is the problem.

And the Red gods are following their words, but honestly, they must have a lot of complaints.

‘The Gold gods killed the Red gods. Humans don’t know, but.’

Because of that, the Red gods wanted to stage a coup and become the main force themselves at any time.

[Oh my, it’s a mess. No wonder the relationship between the Red and Gold families is bad? Is it instinctively influenced by the gods?]

Yes, that’s it.

In the first place, the Skeleton King’s seal went wrong and the Blue god was trapped? If this gets into the ears of the gods who have intense factional fights, it will become tremendous food for thought?

It’s not for nothing that Isaac is trying to fan the flames of the fight.

[Oh. Then if the Red succeeds in a coup by joining hands with Master, the God of Criminal Justice will rather be able to seize power.]

At that point, Whisper seemed to have something he was curious about.

[Wait, didn’t you say the Supreme God is also a Gold god? Isn’t she on the same side as the Gold gods?]

‘They probably don’t get along well with each other?’

[Even though they’re from the same group?]

‘At least that’s how it looked to me.’

It may not seem like it, but the Skeleton King had a very good eye.

‘You think I rose from a skeleton to this position for nothing? Among demons, if you can’t read relationships, you die right away.’

[For someone like that, Master… You really hated the Supreme God.]

It meant that he couldn’t forget how he bounced away, refusing to make a contract, although it has subsided now.

Then Isaac sighed.

The Supreme God.

‘I met that goddess only once when I went to steal her treasure.’

[But?]

‘I think she did like me. That’s why we made a contract. But…’

[But?]

‘I can’t figure out her intentions. And her taste is…’

[Taste?]

‘…No, let’s stop there.’

Isaac closed his eyes tightly. Anyway, what’s important now is the trapped Blue god, right?

‘I have to save the Blue god.’

The Blue is a useful pawn, but personally, I hope the Saints and the Blue do well.

[Oh, do you like the Blue again?]

‘No, it’s a terrible fate.’

In the first place, Isaac didn’t like the existence of the Saints. Beings born only for the subjugation of the Skeleton King, how could he like them?

‘Who the hell created them?’

But anyway, Eshua was going to become his family. In short, he was pissed that his subordinates were struggling. That’s why he made Shuri eat the elixir too.

Of course, just eating the elixir wouldn’t allow him to absorb it right away.

‘I asked for the medicine that Cardinal-level people eat. It will take a month just to digest it with the skills of an apprentice graduate.’

It would take time to absorb the divine power from the elixir to that extent, but…

But it was then.

“Ooooh! Power is boiling up!”

“Oh!”

Isaac looked at the roaring Shuri in admiration. Powerful holy power was gushing out of Shuri’s body.

When he ate the elixir, he acted like he was getting poison. Now he has a face that looks like he might even kiss Isaac a little.

‘To absorb that so quickly, it was worth teaching…’

“Wooh! With this, I think I can even summon the Skeleton King!”

No, the Skeleton King is already in front of you, you idiot.

“Come, come! Skeleton King! I’ll smash your head!!!”

…That crazy bastard??

Wasn’t that guy not interested in the Skeleton King because he’s from the Pope’s bloodline!

“Isaac! Just trust this brother! Your bald hea- no, impotence cur- no, terminal ill- no! …Whatever curse it is, this brother will lift it all for you!”

Isaac popped a vein.

“Just call the Blue god, you brat.”

At those words, Shuri clasped his hands together and immediately roared and called the Blue god.

Then the holy painting in the prayer room fiercely blazed up, and at the same time, the form of the holy painting changed.

If the God of Criminal Justice was a bird, the Blue god’s appearance was close to light. But the strangely distorted form was like…

‘What is it? Bones?’

Isaac tilted his head but didn’t pay much attention to it.

“Blue god…! I! Damn it, I really summoned the Blue god!”

At the sight of Shuri looking like he was shedding tears of emotion, Isaac laughed. Honestly, he realized after coming to Eshua. How much heartache Shuri must have suffered as a brown-haired one.

Noel was outstanding in ability, so he created his own force, but Goel had no ability and was even abandoned by the Pope’s family. It wasn’t entirely unrelated to his mother running away, he heard.

And Shuri wanted to be a Blue person more than anyone. But in a situation where he wasn’t even acknowledged as a Blue person, just summoning the God of Light, the symbol of the Blue, would have felt like relieving his sorrow.

So Isaac rarely tried to pat Shuri’s back.

“Yes, well done, Kim Shu…”

“Quack.”

“…?!”

Summoning the Blue god was good, but Shuri collapsed foaming at the mouth. He even had a seizure.

So he said one thing.

“Shabnak… Was it you?”

“No, he collapsed on his own.”

Indeed, if it had been Shabnak’s doing, he would have collapsed very cleanly without even foaming at the mouth.

It seemed that the power of the elixir was too strong. Or maybe it was too early to summon the God of Light.

“Well, I was going to make him faint anyway, so I’m grateful he fainted on his own.”

Because he couldn’t let him hear the conversation with the God of Light.

As expected, a voice came from the holy painting.

-My child…! My child…! You finally called me! Please listen to my words!

It seemed to be the God of Light.

-My child…! Listen well from now on, there is a very evil person next to you who will destroy Eshua…!

Shabnak’s golden eyes sharpened as if on guard. There was no way he wouldn’t know that the ‘evil person’ referred to his master.

But the God of Light, as if not knowing that Shuri had collapsed, spoke with anguish.

-My child… If you can, please make that person repent, and if it’s impossible, stay away from him and protect Eshu… My child? Are you listening? …My child…

“Yeah, did you call me?”

-…!

Isaac smiled brightly.

“Who should repent and stay away from? Could it be me?”

A few seconds of silence.

And as if belatedly realizing the situation, a scream rang out from the holy painting.
